Tracing past Scotland to Ireland

[Kirsty Edwards]

I don't use FamilySearch for censuses but I presume this is where you have cut and pasted these censuses from? (just a guess because Maria is called "Mrs David Crossgrove"  )

Someone with more knowledge will be know for sure, but I am wondering if viewing the originals on Scotland's People would give more detail than simply "Ireland"?

Sadly I know that this is often not the case. 

Added: Just a thought ... I don't suppose you have checked to see if David and Maria married in Scotland?

I got those off Ancestry when I had my two week trial. It was before 1855 (their marriage) so nothing on Scotlandpeoples - where else would I look if in Scotland?

Church records pre 1855 are on Scotland's people.

Is it paying for the record? Oh and Church of Scotland! so, Protestant and Presbyterian in Ireland ?

and for Maria Aitken Broadley I'm missing 1871 & 1881 for her. I couldn't find them.




Maria Crossgrove is listed aged 66 on the 1871 Census at Kirkmichael , Ayrshire
and aged  76 on the 1881 Census at Crosshill, Ayrshire.
Both records are available to view on Scotlands People.

Just to get a feel for possible locations, I looked for the surname in the Irish censuses.

I could not find any with the spelling Crossgrove, but found a few in the 1901 and 1911 censuses as Crosgrove, mainly centered around Armagh with a couple in Wicklow.

Just a very vague clue and it maybe worth you searching for the alternative spelling.

What about COSGROVE or  COSGRAVE like Liam Cosgrave, former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland?
There's a website which lists alternatives of surnames in Ireland.

Was this marriage after births of elder children, James, Mary and Elizabeth and possibly after Jane's birth?

I'm sorry you've lost me here - this refers to Jane's Baptism. I can't find David & Maria's marriage - I assume they married in Ireland

Religion?

I know it says David was a church officer but to which church i have no idea

My 1st guess would be a church in Crosshill or Kirkmichael. The 2 villages are within easy walking distance. Perhaps Straiton.  It may have been a church in Maybole.
Religious denomination probably Church of Scotland or Free Church. (I'm not clued-up on dates of splits.)  There will be a list on GEN UKI, with distances.
Looking at addresses of the family on 1851 & 1861 census, it seems to me that they were in the same place in Crosshill at each census or very near. Back Street is behind present-day Dalhowan Street. The widowed Mrs Crossgrove was living on King St.,  Crosshill's main street in 1891, so hadn't moved far.

Re my post # 23.  I read it wrongly.  Brain giving up. I've deleted that post. Sorry for confusion.
